Veterans Day
In case you didn't know, yes, I'm a veteran. I served 8 years in the Army Reserve and I was deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as part of operation Enduring Freedom.
Well thank you for your service! I was just thinking (and posting) the other day about how I can't believe there's people who are willing to sacrifice their lives to serve. And that sacrifice includes putting their 'real' life on hold to do good in the world. My Aunt is in Iraq right now. My thoughts are with all vetrans and actives today.
Is that you in the picture? I only asked because someone mentioned that was a great picture. Anyway, I had no idea you served time at GitMo. Kudos and highest regards luv...
